The decision was based on article 386, item III, of the Penal Procedure Code, as it does not constitute, autonomously, a criminal offense.

Moreover, the defendant put in danger the physical and mental health of the child, constantly moved from one state to another as merchandise, and culminated effectively carried abroad by the foreign couple who tried to negotiate it. Thus, the magistrate fixed the penalty of six years and four months of confinement.

Commentaires ou Eléments Importants
As a general comment, the Travaux Préparatoires of the negotiations for the elaboration of the United Nations Convention against Organized Crime and the Protocols thereto state that where illegal adoption amounts to a practice similar to slavery (as defined in article 1, paragraph (d) of the Supplementary Convention on the Abolition of Slavery, the Slave Trade, and Institutions and Practices Similar to Slavery), it will also fall within the scope of the Trafficking in Persons Protocol (p.347). This interpretative note suggests that the intention of the drafters was that illegal adoption without the purpose of exploitation of the child would not fall under the crime of trafficking in persons.
Regarding the finding of the crime of International trafficking of children pursuant of Brazilian Legislation, the Federal Judge stated as follows:
"The preparatory acts for the purpose of sending children abroad without observance of legal formalities in order to make a profit of it, is the typical description of the crime of international child trafficking described in Article art. 239 of the Lei n°8069/90 (Statute of Children protection and Adolescent).
Even when the child is not effectively delivered, as occurred in this case, the Legislation punishes the mere acts of promotion and aid of sending of a child to abroad.
Thus, from the moment the defendants transferred the newborn from her mother to themselves, without judicial authorization in order to promote her sending to France, having received significant amount of money for it, it was unequivocally characterized the elements of the criminal type of International Trafficking of children".
